Why is it that Kyle Smith and so many of the other people who support changing the definition of marriage are so intolerant of people who don’t support changing it (“Hold Your Peace,” PostScript, April 12)?

And why is it that they think their victory is so inevitable?

Last November, the people on my side had huge victories by way of votes in three states — every time the people vote, traditional marriage is upheld. Yet Smith and his band of judges and liberal politicians think they have the right to bash and bully us into submission every time they pull out a lame victory behind closed doors.
